Thank you all. I got a lot of feedback for this post and i can profit from all your expirience.

I noticed for myself that my lines are not that fluent. Interesstingly they flow much better when i draw from my Imagination only and not from a reference. It is maybe a trust issue.

Thanks for your ideas with the box/cube or for more line training ... I do that.

Thank you both for your feedback... It is very helpfull.

@ Darlin I dont mind the length... No need to appoligize. A really appriciate the in depth respond.

I want to add that I do a lot of smaller and faster sketching and drawing.

But in the end my goal is that these excercises should show in my more detailed drawings... So I posted more "finished" examples.

Never the less thanks for the link and suggestions... Also about the Power of the end of paper. I accept the challenge and put more drawings at the corner or draw a box and finish a drawing in these bounderies... to learn more to see beyond the paperline...

@ poly.... You absolutely got me there... I dont like skeleton drawing... I allways avoid them ... .... .... So you are right... It is absolutly the right moment to jump right into it...

In the end where one struggles the most... There is also the place to learn the most...

All the Best

Hey

My goal in the last months was to achive more fluid and alive drawings. I think I managed that to some extent. Here some examples ...

Thx

You favorite Pasta

Hi

I tried to incorporate the great advice and suggestions I got from you in the past in the last couple of weeks and would love to have your feedback about a figure study/series about climbing.

I made all of them in around 45 minutes in one go before I entered the climbinghall myself. I tried to capture the poses and energy of my hobby…

What do you think?

Thx a lot for your thoughts and impressions

Thanks for your advise. I will continue my classes here and mix it up with other things.

Also the videos helped with good inputs to loose up a bit and have some fun at the same time... (caricatures) thanks.

I made some funny small series out of it... Also to draw the same motive multiple times in short succession was quite helpfull so see the effects of small and subtile changes.

Hi

At the moment I rotate between different things (classes, longer drawings, different pens and styles, digital and paper ...)... as practice.

I do this mostly because it is much more fun for me to experiment and foul around.

Examples:

Although I think there is some progress in the quality of my drawings over time and I am more and more happy with the results, for me the joy of the process is very important and the main reason for drawing... Do you have some advice about staying focussed on one thing, technique or mixing different styles and excercises?

Is the some established middleground and do you have some suggestions for a usefull practice routine rotation?

Should I focus more on one thing or do you have any other advice.

Thx alot

I will gladely continue practising.

Hey

I started drawing some time ago (1-2 years) as a hobby, for the fun of doing it.. mostly in the train... or on rainy days.

I do most of my drawings in 10 - 30 minutes directly on paper without using a pencil or much thought.

(here 3 animals, 3 faces)

I am a bit at loss ... how to approach it to improve my workflow or what to do in general to sharpen my perception or anything else really.

I would love some advise about the drawings themselves and mostly in what areas or/and what to do to improve my skills more systematicly...

I never did a course or and anykind of schooling in that area...

Thx
